Summary

Warning: you need to make sure your wigs are safely secured for this week's episode! Troy and his long lost Canadian brother, Russ Martin, take a trip down early internet memory lane while exploring one of social media’s most talked about couples: Jeffree Star and Nathan Schwandt. They start by revisiting Jeffree’s past as a gender bending MySpace celebrity / Warped Tour staple and how he went from working at a MAC counter to owing one of the world's most successful makeup brands. They also spend some time revisiting some of the dark eccentricities of MySpace culture and the things we don’t often talk about when mentioning the website that started it all.
